Mahama touts Ghana’s economic recovery at the London Stock Exchange

President John Dramani Mahama has highlighted Ghana’s improving economic performance and growing investor confidence during a visit to the London Stock Exchange.

According to the President, one of the highlights of his visit to the United Kingdom was ringing the opening bell at the London Stock Exchange, which he described as a reflection of Ghana’s growing presence in global financial markets.

He stated that the Ghana Stock Exchange is experiencing a resurgence, noting that the GSE Composite Index recorded a return of 63.4 per cent as of May 2026, ranking among the world’s top-performing equity markets.

President Mahama said the primary market has revived after seven years of inactivity, citing three major initial public offerings involving First Atlantic Bank PLC, Zen Petroleum and the planned listing of Kasapreko PLC within the next six months.

According to him, the listings have raised approximately GH¢2 billion and demonstrate growing investor confidence in the Ghanaian economy.

The President said government efforts since January 2025 have focused on restoring stability and rebuilding confidence in the economy.

He noted that inflation had declined from 54.1 per cent to 3.4 per cent, while the Ghana cedi has stabilised and interest rates are falling.

President Mahama stated that these developments are creating a more predictable environment for businesses and investment.

He reiterated that Ghana remains open for business and is positioned for growth and investment opportunities.
